Did anyone else feel like this just before labour started?

Hello everyone, I am currently 38 wks + 3 days with my first baby. I have a good pregnancy, with no morning sickness, normal blood pressure etc.

However for the last 4-5 days I have started with really bad nausea 24/7 and some vomiting. I am off food, only really wanting biscuits and toast. I have been feeling generally crappy, my body is aching, having headaches and feeling very sore in the pelvic region. This is compared to last week when I had my burst of energy and ended up decorating the living room!!

I have also been suffering with some swelling, my feet get so huge they dont fit in shoes and when I wake on a morning my face is huge and my eyes are puffy. Went to the dctors yesterday and had my BP and urine checked to make sure no signs of pre-eclampsia. They were normal, but I am seeing midwife tomorrow to be on safe side.

My question is, did anyone else feel like this at the end? And how soon after did your labour start.... thanks

I'm about the same as you and feel the same as you. I think it may just be a end of pregnancy thing for some of us.... Though if it means an early labour all the better. Hope you feel better soon. x

Id ask the midwife, it's different for everybody really. Just keep your eye on your signs for pre eclampsia x

Oh I'm hearing ya!!!

I feel like crap too. Can't stand the thought of food and when I do eat, it's a couple of mouthfuls before I'm stuffed. Can't believe this nausea has returned!

Had a banging headache all day, can barely keep my eyes open and bump feels like it's going to pop it's so tight

I still have 3 weeks left at work and have no idea how I'm going to do it. I keep remembering what the GP told me at the start of this pregnancy.."Some women feel like death"

She wasn't kidding
